Three real steps. No spreadsheet required.
You describe your reality once. The tax engine does the arithmetic nobody wants to do by hand. After that, every price you type comes back in hours.
Tell it your reality
Income, province or state, fixed costs, commute, as much or as little as you want.
We do the tax math
Accurate deductions for your country and region, so the rate is real.
Price anything
Enter a cost and watch it turn into hours of your life.
A real calculator, doing the real math.
Actual screens from the app at app.costmehours.com, an $85k Ontario salary, priced against a $1,200 purchase.
Every purchase, reprinted in time: $1,200 is about 11 workdays of your life.
Cheaper isn't always cheaper.
An item might cost less abroad, until you count local wages, taxes, and living costs. Measured in hours worked, the gap often disappears. CostMeHours compares affordability the way it's actually felt: in time.
Illustrative monthly groceries basket. In the app, the hours come from your own rate.
See what your money is really worth.
One number changes how you see every price. It takes about a minute.
